Tricks by Ellen Hopkins
2.75

I'm not much a fan of audio books, and unfortunately that was the only version I could find for Tricks. That and I've found that I'm not much a fan for all the shifting stories in Hopkins's novels either - I didn't like it in Fallout, and I was equally as disappointed in this one. Ginger's perspective and Seth's perspective were the saving graces, the only reason this gets any stars and the only reason I'll feel obligated to read the sequel. The way Hopkins writes SO much about teenagers having sex - whether it be to bring awareness or whatever - feels too wrong and pornographic. Books like these almost seem pedophilic, and I hate saying that when some of her novels I genuinely enjoy.
